Please review the Create a Purchase Order article.
Overview
Receiving a purchase order is performed when a product arrives at a company warehouse so the Accounting Seed application has a record of the:
- Product being purchased and added to company inventory.
- Storage location (warehouse name and location within the warehouse).
The purpose of unreceiving a purchase order is to correct details on the purchase order or the Purchase Order Inventory Movement (created when the Purchase Order was received), for example, incorrect price, date, quantity, or storage location.
There is no method for editing the details of a Purchase Order. If anything needs correcting, the product must be unreceived at which point incorrect information can be corrected and then it can be received again.
Important: A user-defined posting status should not be created or assigned as a default status on any Inventory Movement objects. This will interfere with the posting of these records.
Note: With the Hibiscus Fall 2019 release, Receiving a Purchase Order with a negative unit cost is now prevented.
